Biomechanical effects of material selection and micro-groove design for dental implants

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, biomechanical evaluation was performed to select appropriate dental implant material, and the implant-bone model was verified by finite element analysis (FEA). Ti–6Al–4V, ZK60, WE43, HA, and Ta materials were compared using three different multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods according to lightness, functional durability, relative movement, penetration, and cost criteria. The stress, deformation, safety factor, sliding distance, and penetration distributions obtained under four loading conditions were scored according to these evaluation criteria and Ti–6Al–4V was determined as the most successful material. By adding 0.1 mm wide and deep micro-grooves to the dental implant model, an 8.3 % improvement in sliding distance and a 53 % improvement in penetration were achieved.
